Description
The UD bottler designation in independent bottling catalogues indicates an undisclosed bottler, where the specific identity of the bottling company is not made public on the front label or release information. This practice appears periodically across the indie bottling market when working relationships with the source distillery preclude open attribution of the cask source. The 61.3% bottling strength is among the higher natural cask strengths recorded in nine year Arran indie releases.
Spirit was distilled at Lochranza in 2012 and matured nine years in a single ex Bourbon American oak cask referenced 12/2887. Bottled at the high natural cask strength of 61.3% without chill filtration and without added colour, with the 170 bottle outturn reflecting strong evaporative concentration during the nine year maturation period.
Nine years of ex Bourbon maturation at the resulting 61.3% cask strength produces a distinctly intense flavour profile, with the cask derived vanillin, whisky lactones and toasted sugar layer concentrated against the underlying Arran spirit signature. The high ABV preserves the maximum lipid fraction and delivers the full textural intensity that single cask presentation can produce at the natural cask strength.
